KUCHING: PKR has named another candidate to contest in the upcoming Sarawak state elections bringing the total number of candidates to 28.

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said Hapeni Fadil would be contesting in the Simunjan state constituency following requests from the constituents as well as local non-governmental bodies.

“As of now, I don’t know if there will be more candidates in the future. I have no information. Indeed, many want to contest,” he said in a press conference at the Sarawak PKR headquarters here last night.

He said PKR was committed to the Pakatan Harapan (PH) principle to ensure no overlapping of candidates among its component parties in the Sarawak polls.

“We need to focus on areas that have party machinery and strength. Does this mean we are paving the way for GPS to win? No. We don’t want to hog areas where we don’t have enough strength,” he said.
